Their aim is to do the better class of detective work, and they solicit the patronage of business men. merchants, manufac- turers, etc. They can give the best of testimonials as to their ability, re- sponsibility, etc. They are one of the few agencies that positively refuse di- vorce cases. MT. Arnold, the super intendent, has had vast experience as a detective in both Europe and America. He was connected with the famous Scotland Yards for four years, and has been in the business actively the past fifteen years.

Gay were the streets of London and gay the

 town" She came from perfumed meadows where
 sweetest flowers grew. Where the air is pure and soothing and the
 sky Is always blue; From woodlands where the music of the song
 bird wakes the spheres, And God sends down his sunshine to kiss
 away all tears. She came to cruel London to see it's thousand
 sights Ahl me, for moths that hutter to those allur.
 ing lights She left her gray haired parents with many a
 tear and frown But singing, "oh, 'tis bonnie love the busy
 town" The months roll on. woman see amid the
 throng, ,Tis night and through the darkness she
 slowly creeps along. My Godl that form familiar, that altered face
 know Iris she who left the country few short
 months ago Where is the light some footstep, the charm of
 girlhoods grace? And the eyes that then shone brightly like
 twin stars out of place? Where the lips once ruddy, the cheeks o1
 sunburnt brown? And that voice that sang" 'Tis bonnie, love
 the busy tOWnF'
